Fran,

I get conned into playing piano once in a while - but Yes, Fran, I do keep a keyboard in the van at all times. And, for six months of last year, I had one in the boat as well. We had some great raft-up parties out in the middle of nowhere, sometimes 15 to 20 boats all rafted together, with me in the middle and rocking the night away on the 3000 running on an inverter. As for playing the piano, I no longer have that skill. I was fair at best when I did play one, and that was 30 years ago. Back then I played a guitar in honkytonk, smoke-filled bars and sang through a 100-watt Crate amp. I was still using Yamaha, which was the last 12-string I owned. I had an Ibanez 6-string, and sang through an old SM-58 on a boom stand while perched on a bar stool. Those were the days.

Cheers,

Gary
